Inheritors of the Diaspora: Contemporary Black British Poetry, Drama and Prose London: Northcote Press, (forthcoming)

Black British literature is one of the fastest growing fields in publishing and since the new millennium this momentum has included drama in mainstream theatres. This book is a wide-ranging resource which gives a comprehensive critical introduction to the work of indigenous Black writers of African descent (1995-present). It uniquely views literature (fiction and poetry) in conjunction with drama (and performance) to consider the development of aesthetic paradigms and issues surrounding canonicity, post-race thinking and cultural citizenship. It contributes to recognising the work of contemporary Black British writers as permanent and expected constituents of British literary history.
